Happy Autumn

Fall is such a great time of year. We have spent the last couple of weeks canning, and boy are we all tired of that. But, now we are fully stocked on canned pears and peaches and we have more peach and pear jam than we know what to do with.But, more exciting than that, we are really looking forward to Halloween. The kids are all thrilled about the upcoming holiday. They have already decided what they want to dress up as. Bryce wants to be a secret agent (not a spy...don't get them mixed up or you get in trouble), Aubrey wants to be a princess/fairy/dancer/teacher. That should be interesting. Parker wants to be Shadow the Hedgehog (thank goodness, we can reuse the costume I made Bryce last year) and Gavin wants to be a fireman or pirate...he can't decide. Logan is going to be a skeleton...he doesn't get to choose,oh, the troubles of being one. Our house is appropriately spooked with decorations of all varieties and we can hardly wait for the big day. What a wonderful time of year!!!

About Me

I am the CEO of a half dozen of the sweetest creations God has given the Earth. I LOVE being their mom. I am also lucky enough to be married to the cutest high school psychology teacher ever. I write my blog and the occasional book review for our local newspaper from home and do my best to wrangle my kidlets without getting jelly in the keyboard. As an added bonus, I have Crohn's disease which makes things a little bit more complicated. Every day is an adventure but I love it and wouldn't have my life any other way.
